| Workday | Oracle PeopleSoft ERP | Workday Financial Management | ERP Financial | ERP Financial Management | n/a | 2024 | 2024 |
In 2024, Louisiana State University continued to expand its cloud-first ERP Financial strategy by extending Workday Financial Management across campus operations. The initiative aligns with LSU’s earlier adoption of Workday HCM in 2016 and follows a programmatic move away from Oracle PeopleSoft ERP toward unified cloud applications.
The Workday Financial Management deployment is being positioned alongside Workday HCM and a planned Workday Student rollout, with configuration work focused on core financial processes, data model alignment, and automation to reduce manual data entry for academic and administrative staff. LSU uses Workday Studio for Workday inbound and boomerang integration patterns where appropriate, while also standardizing on any-to-any integration patterns for broader data orchestration.
Boomi EnterprisePlatform functions as the integration backbone, bridging cloud Workday apps and on-premises systems. LSU runs approximately 160 Boomi integrations that connect Workday Financial Management and HCM to SIS environments, CRM systems, payment processing, student placement and housing, research administration, and grant systems, and the university has published about 20 APIs via Boomi API Management. Named integrations include connectors into Salesforce, Slate CRM, Snowflake, Elavon payment processing, Blackbaud awards management, ACCUPLACER, and StarRez housing, and the integration layer is sized to handle large transaction files up to 40,000 records.
Operational governance has shifted to a centralized integration practice, with a six-person integration team that doubled its effective capacity by adopting Boomi. Development workflow gives engineers discretion to use Workday Studio or Boomi depending on inbound requirements, while centralized maintenance, a drag-and-drop development model, and faster ramp-up for new users reduce specialized coding bottlenecks.
Outcomes explicitly reported include accelerating integrations by 5X and supporting twice as many applications with the same number of developers, automating manual data work to improve efficiency, and enabling faster delivery of digital services to faculty, students, and staff as LSU extends Workday Student and other cloud services.

| Workday | Legacy | Workday HCM | Core HR | HCM | n/a | 2024 | 2024 |
In 2024, Louisiana State University implemented Workday HCM within its Core HR program to centralize human capital processes across multiple campuses and align HR with its cloud-first applications. The university, serving nearly 39,500 students and a broad administrative footprint, positions Workday HCM as the institutional Core HR system that complements existing Workday Financial Management used since 2016 and supports an ongoing shift toward unified student and administrative experiences.
The Workday HCM deployment focuses on standard Core HR capabilities including employee records and workforce administration, position and organization management, and integrations to payroll and benefits processing as part of broader HR lifecycle automation. Configuration efforts emphasize centralized maintenance and rapid user onboarding to reduce manual data entry and rework for academic and administrative staff, enabling staff to focus on value-add activities.
Architecturally the program leverages a hybrid integration layer led by Boomi EnterprisePlatform to bridge cloud-based Workday HCM and ERP with on-premises student information systems and other campus systems. LSU runs approximately 160 Boomi integrations connecting Workday ERP and HCM to SIS platforms, CRM, payment processing, student placement and housing systems, research administration and grants systems, and more, while also exposing roughly 20 APIs via Boomi API Management. Workday Studio remains in use for Workday inbound and boomerang integrations, with development teams choosing between Workday Studio and Boomi based on requirements and developer efficiency.
Governance centers on a small, specialized integration team and centralized integration maintenance, which has doubled capacity for a six-person team and improved time to value. LSU reports outcomes explicitly tied to the integration approach, including accelerating integrations by 5X, reducing manual data work through automation, quick ramp-up for new users via Boomi training, and the ability to scale to high transaction volumes such as files of up to 40,000 records, all supporting HR, finance, student services, and administrative operations.

| EAB | Legacy | EAB Enrollment | Admissions and Enrollment Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2022 | 2022 |
In 2022, Louisiana State University deployed EAB Enrollment on its public website to centralize online application intake and prospect engagement, using EAB Enrollment for Admissions and Enrollment Management. The deployment surfaces student-facing application workflows and prospect data capture directly through LSU web pages, positioning the application as the primary web-based admission intake channel. This implementation concentrates online applicant interactions and initial admissions processing within the EAB Enrollment interface.
Configuration included application processing, prospect management, event registration, and communications automation modules consistent with the Admissions and Enrollment Management category, with admissions and enrollment teams operating the system to manage outreach, review, and selection workflows. The implementation integrates the EAB Enrollment front end with LSU website infrastructure to deliver applicant forms and enrollment content, and it supports operational coverage across the admissions office and enrollment management functions. Governance centered on admissions process ownership and web content management, aligning applicant-facing experiences with internal workflow orchestration and centralized applicant data capture.
